Ruin of parish church of Templeroan (14409) just S of centre. Burials concentrated to S of, and within, church; earliest headstone noted dated 1783; in 1907 Grove White (1905-25, vol. 4, 250) noted Nagle headstone to N of church dated 1723. Two chest tombs overlie N wall of church; easternmost is tomb of Nagle family with date of 1796 (ibid.). Subrectangular depression, inside road wall to W, appears to be feature named 'Pound' on 1842 OS 6-inch map.

- CO018-065002 Church
Description
Just S of centre of graveyard (14564). Fragmentary remains of rectangular church (14.4m E-W; c. 7.6m N-S), of which only S wall and very short returns of E and W walls now stand. South wall stands to original height, topped with ivy and heavily overgrown at E and W ends. Overgrown gap (Wth 1.3m) near E end probably indicates position of window. Central portion of external wall repointed in early 1980s. Buttress-like wall at SE corner may be same as 'low wall...about eight feet long' described by Byrne (1902, 85), who ascribed it to a sacristy. Line of W wall indicated by ivy-clad linear mound. North wall survives as low rise; along its line is burial vault erected by Garret Nagle in 1796 and burial vault of Roberts family of Shanballymore. Before its collapse, E wall described by Power (1932, 110) as having three central arches, each 'six feet wide', the central member pointed, 'a foot or so higher than its companions' and opening right down to the ground, while the other two were round-arched and window-like. He felt that this was more like a chancel arch than end wall, though no trace of chancel then survived. Remains of parish church of Templeroan. Reported 'in ruins' by 1615 (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 395); church at Templeroan mentioned in 1252 (Byrne 1902, 83).
